Illum is scrapped perminately. They have nothing in the works for World pvp, but there thinking about ways to do it.

The next set will have a 20% increase? I didn't quite follow this.

Every company lays people off 3+ times in the frist year.

They plan on one day introducing bounty hunting, on planets however current rules say anyone attacking a player 5 lvls lower then them can be banned for greifing.

Some guy to the responses want him fired asap.

On a positive note open world pvp has some planning.
However, banning people for using mechanics in game makes little sense. Sounds like a god complex of the devs in creating a world for the players but then creating rules against the nature of the game as an excuse to ban or troll players. Why not just add a mechanis that restricts it? It would make their game worse by restricting it but it would be better than banning people for conjured up reasons.
Or they can add a bolster system like 10-49 for open world across all contested maps.

It's because the way swtor lvl system is made somone 6 lvls under wouldn't have a fighting chance in killing them. It's like a lvl 30 toon on wow attacking a lvl 10.

Even in WoW can allow for people to do that, and it brings high lvled players to help. Or people can log in to their alts.

Swtor is really going against the grain with pvp in their game. They should have a FFA server then. One pvp server that restricts griefing, and a FFA pvp server that allows it. And maybe even make it like illum an give exp per kill or exp for sharing kills, or exp for attacking another player. Ofc, the assumption is to not allow exploits so maybe have actual objectives as well, and people will be more focused on having fun rather than spending it on exploits.

Why on earth did Bioware/EA make Gabe Amatangello Lead PVP Designer? HE HAS NO PROGRAMMING EXPERIENCE OF ANY KIND. He's a fucking scriptwriter, for god's sake.

- stats don't correspond with what people say they want - suggested they don't know what to do - have been looking at LoL.

What struck me was the lack of any overarching strategy, no clear idea of what to do - indeed everything seems to be short term.

Let me help you out--ftp and updates every six weeks is the "overreaching strategy" atm. They have a vision for the game based on their experience and fan feedback. The problem is they havn't really shared the vision yet.

Yeah EA turned SWTOR into F2P just to shut it down 3 months later. Makes all the sense in the world.

*rolls eyes*

Well they turned to FTP out of desperation. If the change doesn't bear fruit its not impossible that EA could just can the game as they've already stated they've made their money and the game is no longer a priority.

*rolls nose* . . . . ouch.

If they have already made their money and it is not their priority, still...you are telling me that SWTOR would bring them even lesser profit than say games like WAR and Daoc? again i doubt that considering SWTOR has a very healthy population compared to these old titles.
